Câlnic Citadel, Medieval fortress in Câlnic, Romania.
The fortress contains a central keep, double defensive walls, residential quarters, storage facilities, and a chapel within its stone fortifications.
Built around 1270 by nobleman Chyl de Kelling, the fortress was sold to Saxon villagers in 1430 who expanded its defensive structures.
The fortress represents Transylvanian Saxon architectural traditions, featuring a combination of noble residence and communal defensive structure.
The fortress opens from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00-13:00 and 14:00-18:00, with guided tours available through its medieval chambers.
The fortress remained unconquered during the 1658 attacks when other structures in the village were destroyed by Ottoman forces.
